>> from my reporting, it's clear that rubio wants it and wants it badly. and i think wanting it matters when running for president. if you want it badly, you'll do all that stuff. we understand from folks talking to paul ryan, he doesn't want it as badly and isn't sure he wants to run. for the next two years, he's front and center in the fiscal debate. is he going to be the leader of resistance among conservatives or part of the solution? and i don't think he's made a decision yet. early signals are he's not where john boehner and others are as far as his openness to certain compromises, but at the end of the day, he could be there and i think that will be a big indication of what he wants to do and where he goes. >> and paul ryan signed on to the boehner plan yesterday. jim vandehei, "behind the curtain" is the new series. thanks so much. >> thanks, willie. appreciate it. >>> up next, rookie of the year candidate rg3 and the washington redskins look to close the gap in the nfc east on the new york giants. mike barnicle going to join us next.
